A Military patrol team was immediately dispatched to go after the terrorists in the given direction of their escape route to rescue the victims.
The team first caught up with one of the hijacked vehicles, a green volkswagen golf car with registration number BBU 353 HD with two female passengers and some children which was abandoned during a hot pursuit by the military patrol team.
The patrol team took the victims and the abandoned vehicle to safety before continuing their mission of trailing the remaining terrorists for possible rescue of the remaining vehicles and passengers.
The hot chase by the troops yielded positive results when they caught up with the terrorists near Lamisuri village in Gujba LGA where firefight ensued.
During the encounter, the team killed four members of the terrorists and recovered one tricycle with some stolen food items while some of the terrorists were believed to have escaped from the scene with degrees of gunshot wounds.
The remaining two hijacked vehicles were however not found at the scene of the encounter but tracks of moving vehicles were observed heading towards Meleri community near Goniri village.
The team followed up again on the track until they arrived at Meleri village where they were reliably informed that they sighted two other vehicles, a golf and a Honda car believed to have escaped with their passengers from the scene of the troops earlier encounter with the terrorists at Lamisuri village.
It was further gathered that one of the vehicles headed towards Buni Yadi while the other went towards Damaturu going through Katarko village.
The military sources said it was intensifying efforts to track the fleeing terrorists and rescue the rest of their victims.
